Rick Remender needs to be slapped and kicked off this title, he is butchering characters and writing what I can only describe as a really bad fan fic.
Not only does he like to hear himself talk and is extremely wordy (and trust me, I talk way to much in real life so if I’m noticing this then ouch), but he is reducing all the women into nothing but bitchy romance fodder.
Rogue is bitchy and much like the kid she was back in her Brotherhood days which Remender writes off as ‘a regression arc due to Xavier’s death’, but seriously, that bullshite. Rogue has gone through a lot worse and lost people closer to her and been able to pull through, this is just him wanting to make her a bratty bitch to play against Wanda.
Wanda, omg, Wanda, what the hell. She’s also a bitchy woman calling Rogue one of his father’s floozies (wtf, when did Magneto get floozies? hell, who was his last girlfriend before Rogue? Lorna’s mom?!?). And she’s all stuck in some love triangle with Captain America and Wonder Man. Seriously?! Seven issues and you’ve regressed to this crap?
And now Janet is all about ‘fashion’ (cause apparently she can’t think of better things to help with their image than clothes) and hitting on Alex (just as Rogue did earlier).
Hear that noise? It’s me banging my head against the wall.
Not to mention that the story he’s writing is so deluded in wordiness that it loses any of its impact. Ugh.
So far this title has not seen any plateauing in its sales, it has been constantly dropping and I am actually glad to hear that. It’s still a far way from the 20k cut off Marvel tends to use, but it the title continues to diminish in its quality then maybe we’ll see it go before then, or maybe get a new author.
X-Men: The (fan fic) Series 
I’m noticing a pattern in what happens to women that Remender writes. Everything I remember about hwo he wrote Psylocke in Uncanny X-Force involved her lovelife: Angel, Fantomex, heck in the future-based storyline he had, Psylocke and Logan had married or something. Talk about your one-tracked mind.
Clearly he doesn’t know how to write a female character beyond ‘love interest’ and hopes no one will notice.
Ugh, good thing these are comics and whatever he does now can always be rewritten/fixed in the future. Let’s just hope he’s not allowed to go so far that it will take more than just a band-aid to fix.
